This 7.4% stout is called Stronge Extra Stout in the UK and was originally brewed as a celebration one-off brew to celebrate the arrival of Buxton’s new brewer Colin Stronge, we liked it so much it's now a permanent addition.
Fun fact: It is not allowed to use the word Stronge in the United States because it implies that the beer is high in alcohol as opposed to the brewer’s last name.

Bottle. Pours black with a very dark brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has strong roasted malts with bitter dark grain and a hint of bitter coffee. Flavor is full of bitter dark grains with a bitter chocolate note and a good amount of roasted malts.

Bottle from Craftissimo at home. Rich black pour with dark tan head with frog eye bubbles and some sticky lacing. Aroma is rich coffee, dark dark chocolate, dark fruit. Taste follows - a bit more chocolate and coffee, almost mocha, with big hoppy bitterness throughout. Rich but not too thick palate. Some boozy bitter warmth on the finish, but more roasted malt and bitter coffee. Really good and doesn't feel any weaker in flavor than higher ABV stouts. Great.

Bottle at home. Pours a pitch black color with a creamy, light brown head. Wonderful appearance. Sweet and roasted aroma of chocolate truffles, licorice, coffee, ash, black currants, cocoa and smoke. The flavor is more roasted with coffee, ash, dark wood, some smoke and dark chocolate. Nice, creamy and soft mouth feel, full-bodied, and has a medium bitterness. A well-balanced and roasted stout. Great Smokey touch as well.

33cl bottle. Pours almost opaque dark brown with large long lasting light brown head. Excellent aromas, heavily malty with notes of roasted, burnt barley and mocha coffee, hints of tobacco at some point. Average hop presence mostly resin. Tints of raisin, plum, prune, dry fruits. Full body, creamy texture, lively carbonation, bitter finish. An excellently well centered top class beer. Gives a sense of aged beer when it’s actually not aged. Gimme more!

Flaska delad med Daniel. Stora mjuka rostade smaker, rejält kropp och stor och maffig. Massor av rostad malt, rund, mjuk, lätt maltsyrlig, väldigt välbalanserad. En riktigt bra och kraftig stout.

New Beer Distributors, NYC bottle: pours black with a small and very brown head. Aroma is mollases, coffee, some fruitiness, mebbe some soy sauce. Taste is sweet with a mild bitterness towards the end which continues on into the aftertaste. Pretty thick body. A bit sticky. Actually pretty easy to drink And managable on both the sweetness and bitterness categories.

schenkt stroperig zwart met fijne bruine kraag. aroma van chocolade, gebrande en geroosterde mouten, koffie, heeft eerder het aroma van dat van een porter dan dat van een stout. Smaken zijn behoorlijk moutbitter (gebrand), koffie, donkere en bittere chocolade, poederachtige smaken in de mond, vanille, redelijke body, romig van textuur.
